Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid any broccoli that is yellowing or has wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook.
  • Toss the broccoli with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper: This will help the broccoli to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help to create crispy, tender broccoli. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the broccoli for 15-20 minutes: Or until it is tender and slightly browned. Keep an eye on the broccoli so that it doesn't overcook.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Roasted broccoli is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest or Parmesan cheese.
